[quote:Anonymous Coward 34220519:MV8yMTM2Njk0XzM2MDczNDM2XzREOTExQzAz] [quote:BioReaper:MV8yMTM2Njk0XzM2MDczMjYzXzQ0MDE2MDdC] [quote:Anonymous Coward 34220519:MV8yMTM2Njk0XzM2MDczMjI0X0JFMDkzMERD] Just remember NK has the fourth largest Army in the world with over 1 million soldiers while its neighbor S korea has roughly about 600,000 troops. US also has a contingent of 30,000 military personal stationed in SK and is obligated to protect SK in case of an attack. Although NK is technologicaly inferior to SK and the US its will to fight is not. The NK military is very well trained and disciplined and many experts predict they would fight to death such as the Japanese did in WW2. NK spends a vast amount of its GDP on weapons and its military and has nearly 10,000 hidden artillery pieces pointed at Seoul.NK has also been preparing for an invasion by the US and SK for decades and they have built many hidden bunkers and and underground tunnels underneath the DMZ in preparation for an attack. Not to mention that NK is believed to have a small contingent of Nuclear weapons which it could detonate in SK, Japan, or any other country it sees fit. SK which has the 12th largest economy in the would would be brought to its knees. Millions of Korean refugees would try to enter China, the world economy would take a huge hit and oil prices would most definitely sky rocket. There would be utter destruction and chaos on both sides of the peninsula. The Korean War had roughly 3 million deaths which is astronomical. Couple that with today's modern weapons and you could easily get a number 3-5 times that. There have been many reports that in the event of a North/South Korean war the US would use low yield nuclear weapons. Another factor in play is what China's repose would be. Despite economic reforms China has been an Allie of NK for decades. Although the US and SK would eventually win, China could most certainly be wary of expanded US influence along its border and might very well intervene on NK's behalf. Lets just hope that it does not happen! :) [/quote] I've talked with several of our guys stationed there over the years. Each one to a man told me that if North Korea ever came storming over that line, they figured they were all dead. [/quote] Yeah I would be a tad bit nervous if I was stationed over there at the moment.. [/quote]
